Let's Make A Leprechaun....Or Two! (freebie, too!)

I love St Patrick's Day...and all things Irish! Creating this pack was just too much fun for me!
Of course, I have been a bit busier (and sicker) than I thought I would be and it has taken WAY longer than I thought it would to finish it. (Not to mention the fact that I kept adding stuff to it, making the initial size something like 180MB...until I found a way to reduce the file size with my MAC so that it is WAY more manageable). ANYWAYS... This pack has, as usual, some adorable craftivities- a glyph and also a personalized friend which both have writing extensions...but the pack also has a bit of math...and a lot of writing and making connections with character and plot.
I also included a leprechaun legend that can be used as a "Think Ahead" (predicting activity)
...lots of activities to go along with my two fav St Patrick's Day books by Tomie DePaola...
gotta love Jamie O'Rourke!

I included Common Core standards covered with the pack, too.

If you get a chance, check it out HERE.
When you go to TPT, there is a freebie download if you click "Download Preview"

I just stopped by to tell you how awesome and geniune you are! I was just reading on someone else's blog and you always have the most positive comments. I just wanted to let you know that you are truly appreciated!

I have the latest OS...but in Pages, under file...there is a "reduce file size" option...it is AWESOME! I was afraid to use it b/c it said that it would reduce the size of my photos and stuff...but I couldn't tell the difference at all!Hope that helps!Jennifer
